Change Log
This page contains information regarding data entry fixes and updates between WinCan VX release versions. These do not include bug fixes or feature developments, only fixes to captions and list items as required to either remove conflicting information or as a result of updates to the standard.

Import/Export mapping editor tool improvements.
Various improvements including conversion mappings as described in this section - https://cdlabdev.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FAQ/pages/1201569849/Importing+External+Data#WinCan-VX-v11-Update
Simplification of the continuous asset dimension fields.
The asset dimension fields have been reduced from 5 to 3 and now have a direct one-to-one mapping with the relevent shapefile fields.
Before v11.0:
v11.0 onwards:
There are a number of rules in HADDMS concerning when each of these fields is valid and when they are not based on other criteria in the data including the asset type. Previously, VX was manipulating these values automatically in the background and the result was that sometimes after export, the data was in the wrong fields in the shapefile.
This background manipulation has been removed and the transfer of data is now clear and direct between the WinCan database fields and the shapefile fields.
The contractor should understand from the HADDMS documentation when and how to use these fields appropriately.
The WinCan VX validation files and import mapping files have been modified to match this change.
Please use the tip text in WinCan VX that appears when you hover over the field caption.

New features added to the ‘Import from GIS’ tool as described https://cdlabdev.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FAQ/pages/1201569843/WinCan+VX+Project+Setup#Update-in-WinCan-VX-v11.0
Imported reference fields added to the node and section headers for error checking.
See additional information in the ‘Imported Supplier’s Reference’ field descriptions in The Node Header and in The Section/Lateral Header
PLR Suffix field removed.
The PLR Suffix concept is not relevent in HADDMS data and never has been. It is a WRC inspection standard that has no place in HADDMS data and causes problems with data management, so it hasbeen removed. It is now the responsibility of the operator to ensure that they have specified a unique Supplier’s Reference for each asset at all times, and the value will not be edited by the software.
Node Header field name changes to simplify field links between HADDMS shapefiles and WinCan and minor changes made to import and export to ensure good mapping of cover level values.
National Grid Reference ‘(X)’ field caption changed to Easting [m]
National Grid Reference ‘(Y)’ field captionchanged to Northing [m]
Eelevation / Cover Level ‘(Z)’ field captionchanged to Cover Level [m]

Not related to WinCan VX, but changes made in this manual:
New ‘Support’ section added to the front cover page of this manual.
References to Highways England changed and/or modified to National Highways throughout this manual.
New chapter Connectivity & Asset Uses added regarding connectivity and asset types.

WinCan VX v12.0
Node observation code updates:
Observation codes SC, SCA, SCB, SCH, SCK, SCU removed for nodes, leaving only SCC, SCR and SCZ. Shape change codes are compatibility codes only from WinCan v7, but they have some uses, other than where the shape is inappropriate for the asset type.
Quantification updates for node observations:
All deposits codes and water level codes in nodes have had their quantification parameters changed from % to mm, thickness for attached deposits and depth or width for all others. It is not considered appropriate to measure these observations in nodes by the % method.
